For those wondering, yes I do indeed play ~solo~ and my perks thus far are Adrenaline Rush and Toughness (They both just seemed to make sense) Special is S5 P6 E9 C1 I8 A10 L1 and I'm finding it not too hard to dispatch regular enemies now. So my AP is 10, recharges fairly quickly and I've been seeing that if I burst with my little shotgun at the main enemy in an encounter right away I generally come out victorious seeing as he's knocked down or back.
Edit: I'm on the TeamSpeak3 fairly often if anyone wants to come by and say hello!
- You need even toughter ( a lot more than toughness, and you can trade it for a beer )
- You need E10, for max hp first, an because it counting for crit resistance ( not chance to hit )
- you dont need A10, as you can trade 1 AG for a nuka cola
- you cant really fight ( unless you know what you doing ) with L1, it also counts for certain crit rolls, less than L3/4 is unable to fight.
- I8 means your definitly a crafter, do a second character, buy a base ( just 10k caps, and you have your own faction to invite your alts in ), find how to craft better stuff, have always super stim, use hotkey to use them
About your fighter ( pve ) build, make him I2 L4 E10 A9, use drugs on him ( nuka, psycho, cig ), put rest on S/P as you wish, take BG/FA/DOC, take bonehead + small frame. take AD + even toughter, take bonus rate of fire, take ( at least ) 2 lifegiver, rest is as you wish, take stonewall if you want to stand on your feet whatever happens ( but you need S8+to be effective ), take more ranged damages if you expect more to fight than running, use lsw / m60 there are easy and cheap to farm/craft.
Now your able to fight and win most of encounters, and take your chance to dungeons, try the gun runner quest ( in rt ), go there with your car and enough stuff in car locker, dont park it more than 24h or it may disappear, try to finish it asap ( around 10 minutes ), good luck !
